You might be confusing "domesticated" with "tamed" on the dog issue. Isn't it believed that dogs were domesticated from the gray wolf?
>>2023960
They were, but i'm talking about people who think they're literally the same species or almost the same thing, but with one being ferocious and the other being cute and friendly, kind of like the red junglefowl and the domestic chicken.
My area has a lot of vultures during the spring and summer. All of my friends think they're hawks or eagles.

I can easily see shit getting confusing. We have bald eagles, golden eagles, ospreys, various hawks, kites, etc. I fuck up my hawks because the juveniles look so similar when it comes to red tail hawks, cooper hawks, red shouldered hawks, etc.

FUCKING THIS. They think they're larger and more dangerous mosquitoes who will suck you dry, when in reality they don't even hurt a fucking fly.
Weird cutesy names people call animal species. Ratties, beardies, hoggies, etc. I don't known why but just makes me cringe so much.
Also when every single nature documentary calls every single animals teeth and claws "razor sharp." Like I know a bears claws will fuck anything up but can I shave with them? Then they're not as sharp as a razor. Just call them "incredibly" or "very" sharp ffs.

Seriously, the dividing line in my life between "adults are all knowing, all powerful gods" and "this bitch is retarded"
My respect for that lady(close family friend and neighbor) never fully recovered, and every time I think about her it's with a faint aura of pity.
Completely unfair but damn it made an impression.
In high school biology, the teacher asked the class "if humans evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes" as a test question.
My answer was different populations.
His "correct" answer was that humans didn't evolve from monkeys and apes, but rather that they shared a common ancestor.
Sorry but...I'm pretty sure at some point in human ancestry, there were individuals that would be clearly identifiable as both monkeys and apes.
A lion and and a housecat are clearly both cats.
At some point they had a common ancestor that was also a cat.
Just because populations diverge and speciate doesn't mean they stop being what they are.
And it is entirely possible for one population to retain an ancestral form while another population diverges radically enough to require new classification.
>>2023955
When people get fanny flustered over the misuse of the word monkey
I'm willing to admit the great apes aren't monkeys, doesn't mean I won't call them monkeys
>>2026563
to an extent, I imagine today's monkeys have evolved in more subtle ways from the proto monkey ancestors, it's less physical and more genetic
If we managed to get a male chimp, a male human, and a female missing link in the same room, that the chimp wouldn't be any more likely to
impregnate the missing link than the human
>>2026549
>Scientific classifications are now more often based on monophyletic groups, that is groups consisting of all the descendants of a common ancestor. The New World monkeys and the Old World monkeys are each monophyletic groups, but their combination is not, since it excludes hominoids (apes and humans). Thus the term "monkey" no longer refers to a recognized scientific taxon.
There you go.

Nope. They are their own class and they were warm blooded, not cold blooded and some had feathers.
>>2028366
Basically, they called otters "shy rodents".The translation of the article is kinda shitty I know.
>>2023960
If by gray wolf you mean Canis lupus in general, yes. In a recent study the traditional version of extant subspecie/population of wolf is the ascendency of the doge. Rather than that doges, dingos and wolves are more like brother taxa that come from populations (probably subsespecies) that are now extinct.
>>2028383
>They are their own class
they're just reptiles.
>and they were warm blooded, not cold blooded and some had feathers.
that doesn't matter.
all descendants of reptiles are reptiles, and reptiles are a class of amphibians.

I wouldn't be surprised if dogs weren't domesticated multiple times all over the world and they all have admixture from each other.
>>2028381
>People thinking black rats, cows, horses, pigs, sheep and dog (+ dingos) are native to the Americas, Australia and Africa.
To be fair most people in my country (including myself at one point) think that the genet is kinda a native specie, when it was in fact introduced by the moors during their ocupation (which is a more recent event than the aborigin colonization of Australia).
Also the genus Equus was once native from America, so it's like poetry.
>>2028381
>all dinosaurs are reptiles
Oh?
>>2028379
>People thinking black rats, cows, horses, pigs, sheep and dog (+ dingos) are native to the Americas, Australia and Africa.
Horses were originally native to North America. And in fact spread to Eurasia via the Bering Straight Land Bridge. The "modern" horse lived in North America from 2.5 million years ago to abou 7600 years ago, when they went extinct in North America due to the last major glacial period.
So technically they were native, went extinct here and were imported back.

>>2025374
>Humans genderfluid
Tumblr starling detected
>>2030551
the point is that wolfdog hybrid is no longer the accepted nomenclature.And the reason why its annoying when people confuse northern breed mixes with actual wolfdogs is because northern breeds have way less of temperment issues and don't experience things like winter wolf syndrome, so they tell other people misinformation like "oh wolfdogs act JUST LIKE regular dogs!" so that when people actually go through the proper procedures to get an actual wolfdog, often they are not prepared for what they are getting into and have to give up the dog which mean, in the best case scenario, the dog will go to a sanctuary, in the worst case scenario, the dog will be destroyed because many shelters refuse to carry wolfdogs. It doesn't necessarily make me mad because they're misinformed, it's that their misrepresentation of northern breeds as wolfdogs or even low content wolfdogs as being of a high content places countless wofldogs' lives in jeopardy.
>>2030560
How intense is winter wolf syndrome for "established" hybrids like the czechoslovakian wolfdog or the sarloos?
>>2030563
Czechoslovakian and Sarloos aren't actual wolfdog mixes, they're their own breeds of dogs bred from mixes of GSDs and timber wolves and consequently do not experience winter wolf syndrome. However, like all northern breeds, they still have some temperament issues that you will have to deal with and you need to socialize and train them accordingly.
>>2030563
In general, WWS isn't common in low content wolfdog mixes and is more of a problem in mid content and high content wolfdogs. The general rule of thumb is that the higher the content, the more serious WWS will affect the animal, though this is not always the case. If you're worried about WWS in a potention wolfdog pupper you want to get, there are many wolfdog websites and groups online that can offer you tips and advise on how to handle the animal.
